Australia T20 Team: The Australian team is in trouble just before the T20 World Cup 2026. His three match-winning players are injured but there are reports that despite this, he is going to include all three in the probable squad. Australian players Tim David, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are suffering from injury. Hazlewood-Cummins is out of the Ashes and David got injured during the Big Bash League match, but despite this, Australia has decided to keep him in the team. Let us tell you that T20 World Cup 2026 will start from 7th February and it will be played in India and Sri Lanka.
Cummins-David’s injury is big
If reports are to be believed pat cummins Will have to undergo another scan of his back before being included in Australia’s T20 World Cup squad. Cummins suffered a back injury after the West Indies Test series and since then he has played only one Test match, which was in Adelaide in the ongoing Ashes 2025-26 series. On the other hand, Tim David suffered a grade two injury to his right hamstring on December 26 and due to this he has been ruled out of the Big Bash. But his recovery time could be enough for David to be fit in time for the T20 World Cup.
Coach Andrew McDonald said Australia will include Pat Cummins in their 15-man squad before the ICC deadline of January 2, but his availability will be decided closer to the tournament. Josh Hazlewood can also start bowling soon. In the last T20 series, he bowled brilliantly in the T20 series against India. This player is also out of the entire Ashes series due to hamstring injuries.
